doctor

Levi is two months old today!  He had his checkup at the doctor this evening and we made it a family affair.  Caleb and Logan didn't do too bad (or maybe we just decided they did good enough anyways since Mike and I wanted ice cream afterwards anyhow...).  They were pretty curious when the doctor was checking Levi out, and they didn't get into too much trouble when we were talking with him.  The nurse weighed them too - Logan is 30 lbs and Caleb is 34 lbs.

Anyways, back to Levi.  He's 14 lbs 13 oz, and 25 inches long.  Both are 97th percentile (he's on the charts!).  His head circumference is 42 cm, which as the doctor said, is only the 90th percentile.  :)  So, he's a big boy, but everything is pretty proportional!  (Caleb and Logan were almost 14 lbs at just over 6 months...)  Everything checked out good - he's a happy, healthy, growing boy.  He had to get a few shots tonight and didn't do too bad.  Cried for a bit, but didn't take too long to calm down.

While we were in there I asked the doctor about a bump on the back of my neck.    I've had it for years and years, but it's gradually gotten a little bigger and can be annoying.  He said it was no big deal and he had time to cut it out right then.  So, we left Mike in the room with all the boys, he took me to another room, numbed me up, snip snip, and it's all gone!  He was kinda laughing about leaving Mike in the room with all the boys, I asked if he thought Mike would notice if I ran out for a cup of coffee, but then I said I'd have to sneak back to get the keys and he said I could take his truck.  :)

  1. I think Levi has a good smile already. I didn't think babies knew how to smile at cameras. I thought they didn't know to even look at the camera. Smart kid. The cute little Levi looks like he's loooking at me. Claire Wingert
